A Marvel-based MMOG has been a comic-book nerd’s wet dream for some time. After seeing the movie properties come together in Marvel’s Avengers earlier this summer, the desire to stomp around the massive universe has only become stronger. Gazillion Entertainment, developer of the family-friendly Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, blew the lid of Marvel Heroes at PAX Prime 2012 and LoreHound was there to get the skinny.
Associate Producer Matt Group detailed the Diablo-inspired MMORPG to iTZKooPA shortly after the panel that revealed three new playable heroes, Punisher, Daredevil and Squirrel Girl. Group went on to discuss the play mechanics, including the cleaner HUD and easy to pick-up controls, access to the vast array of Marvel storyline, characters and costumes and “public combat zones.”
Hit the jump for all the awesome details, including the Closed Beta launch date.

[...] Filed under: Betas, Super-hero, Video, Game mechanics, New titles, News items, Free-to-play, Marvel Heroes In a video interview at PAX Prime, Associate Producer Matt Group discussed different aspects of the upcoming super hero MMORPG Marvel Heroes. Some of the topics he touched on include rotating between characters, public combat zones, multiple costumes, the free-to-play philosophy, and the fact that much of the world is open (although boss fights are mostly instanced). Group also mentioned that Gazillion Entertainment has access to every Marvel character and location possible. Folks who prefer console gaming but love the idea of slipping into the skin of their favorite super heroes can take heart; Group stated, "Once we have a solid grip on [the PC game] we want to move on to whatever other platforms there are out there." When is the game launching? Group says, "Sooner than you think." Closed beta, however, is beginning on Oct. 1st. Check out the full interview after the cut.Continue reading PAX Prime 2012: Marvel Heroes video interview touches on costumes, public combat zonesPAX Prime 2012: Marvel Heroes video interview touches on costumes, public combat zones originally appeared on Massively on Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:00:00 EST.
